Accurate and verified S-parameters are mandatory for obtaining reliable device models.After a quick recap of the network analyzer basics, this video presents a step-by-step guideline to master S-parameter measurements, and to get accurate and verified data right the first time.

Topics covered:- measurement of the DC bias contact resistance- evaluation of the right RF signal power to not overdrive the transistor- S-parameter calibration and verification- verification of the de-embedding dummy structures- identification of self-heating problems during S-parameter measurements- examples of accurate S-parameter measurements
